2013 E350 / 2016 GLE 400
Snow White 1 and 2


Hi everyone, this is my first post on the forum.

I picked up the 2016 GLE 400 with the night package in December. I've tinted it all the way around and I will not be adding a front plate. It's been fun thus far. In the background is my 2013 E350.

Looking forward to seeing more of your pics.

Thanks. I believe the young lady said the tint is 3M.

Windshield tint is dangerous.

Would not tint windshield. Many states it is not legal.

I'd tint it if I could, but no one will even attempt it where I'm at.

Nice! Looks darker than 20%. I have 20% on my 2 front windows. I like the windshield tint, friend of mine has it as well. Magnet for cops though.

Thanks. My car is 35% but the GLE is 20%. You can see clearly out of the windshield at 50%. How do you like the illuminated star on yours?

I'm looking to get the front passenger and driver side tinted. What tint brand did you use? Does 20% match the back windows for tint?

Just got my GLE450 tinted with 18% on the driver/passenger windows, Air Blue 80% on the back and rear windows, and 3M Crystalline 70% on the windshield. It matches the factory very well.

Illuminated star is a nice touch. One of those things you don't think about because you're not looking at it while driving but other people comment on it (positively). I would probably get it again.
